Music Lessons in Brookwood Hills, GA

Instruments: Piano Organ Synthesizer Recorder

I put a lot of energy into my teaching!  Providing positive feedback and encouragement is most important.  Also, giving students practical ways to improve their playing and meet their perfomance goals is crucial.  One of the great benefits for a young person learning a musical instrument in the experience of challening and overcoming their percieved limitations.  I feel it is my job to guide my students on this adventure. Because of my many years of experience teaching PK-6 general music, I am able to adapt my style to every age group & ability level. Read More

Instruments: Guitar Voice Music Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

For both voice and guitar, I begin with evaluation of where the student is. I then discuss with the student to realize what their goals are, and why they want to progress in this field. I then assign daily exercises that the student can utilize to begin to build control and virtuosity with their instrument. We will then collaborate to begin choosing repertoire to work on, and find music that makes the student enthused to practice in-between our sessions. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Keyboard Acoustic Guitar

I encourage my students to have notebooks, recorders, and to learn basic accompaniment via keyboard or guitar. This will help them to expand on their practices at home and feel empowered to create music on their own. I like to keep track of my students accomplishments and enjoy encouraging them along their musical journey. Each student comes with their own unique abilities, talents and training and I believe it is my duty to meet my students where they are at and gradually bring them towards where they desire to be and where I also see their greatest potential.

This continued in college, and before I knew I was working as a violin and piano teacher at a local music store. Read More

I start beginning students that are interested in learning to play guitar with rhythm for the strumming hand. I will then move on to the fretting hand to finger positioning as well as learning the notes (on the guitar fingerboard) as heard at concert pitch. Music theory will be taught as applied to the guitar. I do not use any published books for teaching but prefer to develop my own lessons plans customized to each students interest and ability.
